Q: syscall use in shellcode I am learning assembly and I wrote this shellcode which is supposed to open the Google homepage on firefox. However it doesn't do anything (and even segfaults at the end because of an added instruction add %al,(%rax) which I don't understand), do I do things right ? I am actually not even sure I encoded the strings correctly. Thanks !
global _start

_start:
xor rax, rax
push rax

;https:////www.google.com
push 0x6d6f632e656c676f
push 0x6f672e7777772f2f
push 0x2f2f3a7370747468

mov rcx, rsp

push 0x786f66657269662f ; /firefox
push 0x6e69622f7273752f ; /usr/bin

mov rdi, rsp

push rax
push    rcx
push    rdi
mov     rsi, rsp

; execve
mov     al, 0x3b
syscall

I test my code with :
char code[] = \x48\x31\xc0\x50\x68\x6f\x67\x6c\x65\x68\x2f\x2f\x77\x77\x68\x68\x74\x74\x70\x48\x89\xe1\x68\x2f\x66\x69\x72\x68\x2f\x75\x73\x72\x48\x89\xe7\x50\x51\x57\x48\x89\xe6\xb0\x3b\x0f\x05
int main(int argc, char **argv){
   (*(void(*)()) code)();
   return 0;
}`

A: You missed a null terminator on the firefox path. Add a push rax before the firefox hex just like you did with google.com.
Also, to make sure you don't crash due to the lack of an envp variable (i.e. a random rdx), add this line when constructing rsi
...
push    rax
mov     rdx, rsp # Add this to set rdx = [null]
push    rcx
...

This passes in an empty array to envp through the rdx register.
Finally: Normally the push rax is a hack to get past null & newline blocked string inputs. If you're just calling it within your own c code, you can use push 0 instead of push rax and forget the top line xor (Using mov rax, 0x3b for the syscall). You can leave it as-is. This was just a note.

Krispy Kreme - I am a huge fan of the product. They do an excellent job of Building Buzz(publicizing new store openings etc.), Napsteriazing their product(giving people samples as the walk in), Building a Community and other concepts from the book. But I think there is a huge vulnerability to the company. They have, for the time being, a product that can compete favorably on taste. The problem is that the product is not a healthy food. As the circumference of more and more Americans increases the obsession with "healthy" food choices builds remarkably. So as the tide of public opinion turns negative towards Krispy Kreme how can they continue to compete?
It's all about experience. While people are busy holding up their "Doughnut Theatre"=window and the hot Doughnuts sign in the front window of the store as good examples what gets lost is everything else that makes up the experience of visiting a store and purchasing Krispy Kreme doughnuts.
Scarcity- KK has done a good job limiting the number of locations that they open. If they want to maintain the mystique of the product a certain degree of scarcity is a good thing. If they are on every fifth corner like their competitors they will become a commodity easily unseated by a competitors new taste driven product. Build only a few outlets but make them really spectacular experiences.
Design- The retro design of their graphics adds authenticity and richness to their brand. This only works because the history of the product extends back to the age of the graphics they are referencing. They need to push the envelope here to keep the graphic identity unique, fresh and an integral part of the experience.
Packaging- The flat box works to keep the hot glazed doughnuts from sticking together, however, it is the most unruly, difficult to handle, balance, carry package possible. Want to build some major buzz? How about a Student Design Competition for design students(graphic, product, packaging, engineering.) Explore alternative designs that could enhance the brand experience while strengthening your community by letting customers vote to pick their favorite designs. A jury of passionate brand loyalists can be educated in the many intricacies of package performance criteria like fabrication, costs, distribution, etc. At the very least how about a handle?
Stores- The new prototype stores I have seen are simply awful. If you have a unique product why do you put it in a plain box(building) like all the others? The design of the stores is I think the greatest weakness of the brand experience. There is nothing special about them. They could be any franchise business. They have a neon sign in the front window that they light up when they are making doughnuts. Big Deal. It's a communication tool not a brand experience. What if the whole building changed color when they are making doughnuts? Doughnut Theater? In it's present form it's great marketing speak for a "window." Sure it's fun to watch the doughnut machine. But there is so much more potential to create an immersive experience that will be a "must do" for customers. What if Disney's Imagineers designed the doughnut machine experience? They need to hire world class architects to design their stores. What if Frank Gehry or David Rockwell designed their stores. More buzz. More experience.
Would these things cost more? Absolutely!! But if Krispy Kreme wants to continue to build an nurture amazing brand and customer loyalty and in fact develop Customer Evangelists they need to innovate and craft a huge experience to prepare them selves to face the market challenge they will be facing in the future as the obesity issue comes to the forefront of the American culture. If not they will become a commodity and be forced to play the advertising and promotion game like their competition.
Sure, Krispy Kreme is expanding globally but if the brand wanes in it's American home it will more rapidly wane overseas as well. If it thrives it will thrive!
Krispy Kreme is toast, a cooling fad that burned too bright, too quickly. Kind of reminds me of the Iomega Zip drive hype of the mid-90's.
Showing up at the office with a box of Krispy Kremes and you might as well be wearing parachute pants and a sweat band--all hip things for a while but not something you want to be associated with now.
They're donuts, let's not forget that. And while they might be tasty, one tires of them quickly.
Low fat donuts have finally been invented and they are damn good!
less than 4 grams of fat for a large boston cream donut just rocks! really check it out!

kala chana curry recipe is a mildly spiced and thin black chickpeas curry made in punjabi style.
kala chana gravy recipe with step by step photos – this simple and delicious punjabi style black chana masala gravy is very easy to make and yet flavorful. basic ingredients like onions, tomatoes and garlic along with the regular indian spices go into it. this delicious black chickpeas curry is made quite often at home.
i have learnt this kala chana masala recipe from my mother in law. her recipes are always easy and made with basic ingredients.
this kala chana gravy has a thin soup like consistency and is not thick or creamy. it can be relished as a soup or even had with steamed rice or chapatis. they actually go very well with plain steamed rice and this combo is filling too.
while making chana recipes, always soak the chickpeas overnight to soften them. when we make black chickpeas we don't throw the water and use it for cooking. whereas for white chickpeas, we discard the water which is used for soaking them.
i suggest to cook black chickpeas in a pressure cooker rather than cooking in a pot. in a pressure cooker, the chickpeas cook much much faster than in a pot, which takes hours.
if you like black chickpeas, then you can also have a look at a dry curry version which we call sookha or dry kala chana and is made during the navratri vrat pooja in north india. you can also check this spicy kadala kari recipe from the kerala cuisine and this ghugni recipe from the bihari cuisine.
black chickpeas are a rich source of protein and is excellent for growing up kids and people who are into sports or need lots of energy. black chickpeas should be cooked really well. they might be difficult to digest for some folks. hence adding cumin and asafoetida help in the digestion.
rinse black chickpeas a couple of times in water.
then add 2.5 cups water and soak the black chickpeas or kala chana overnight or for 8 to 9 hours.
in a pressure cooker, add 2 tablespoon ghee or oil.
add cumin. let them crackle and then add finely chopped onions.
sauté onions till they become light golden.
add garlic, green chilli and saute for 10 to 12 seconds .
add finely chopped tomatoes and saute them till the oil starts leaving from the sides of the onion-tomato masala.
add turmeric powder, asafoetida, kashmiri red chili powder and saute for 2 to 3 seconds.
then add the kala chana along with all of the soaked water. additionally also add ½ to 1 cup water as per the consistency you want. season with salt and stir well.
pressure cook chana on a medium to high flame for 8 to 9 whistles or more till the kala chana are cooked well and softened.
lastly sprinkle the garam masala and stir. garnish punjabi kala chana gravy with coriander leaves.
serve the black chana masala gravy with steamed rice, rotis or chappati.
1. rinse 1 cup black chickpeas (kala chana) a couple of times in water. then add 2.5 cups water and soak the kala chana overnight or for 8 to 9 hours.

6. add 4 to 5 garlic cloves (finely chopped) and 1 to 2 green chilies (finely chopped).
7. saute for 10 to 12 seconds .
8. add 2 medium tomatoes or 1 large tomato (finely chopped).
9. saute them till the oil starts leaving from the sides of the onion-tomato masala. the tomatoes will also soften.
10. then add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 pinch of asafoetida and ½ teaspoon kashmiri red chili powder.
11. saute for 2 to 3 seconds.
12. then add the kala chana along with all of the soaked water. additionally, add ½ to 1 cup water or add as required.
13. season with salt as required and stir well.
14. pressure cook kala chana on a medium to high flame for 8 to 9 whistles or more till the kala chana are cooked well and softened. the chana should soften and be cooked well. if there is too much of liquid in the gravy, then cook the chana without the lid, till some water evaporates. you can also mash a few chana pieces for the gravy to thicken.
15. when you get the desired consistency in the black chana gravy, then lastly sprinkle ½ teaspoon garam masala. mix well.
16. add 1 tablespoon coriander leaves (optional) to punjabi kala chana curry.
17. serve the black chana masala gravy hot with steamed rice, rotis or chappati.
Absolutely easy and delicious, thanks Dassana.
thank you eman for the feedback and the rating.
If I don't have a pressure cooker, can I simply cook in a pan until the chickpeas are soft?
yes, of course, you can cook chickpeas in a pot or pan. do presoak chickpeas for at least 8 hours before cooking. also add water as required while cooking chickpeas in the pan.
I made this twice now and it turned out absolutely delicious. Such a great recipe and one that doesn't require lots of ingredients. So healthy too. I put a bit of besan (chickpea flour) in it to thicken it up a bit. Five stars. Thank you Dasana!
thanks a lot ruby. of course to thicken some besan can be added. happy cooking.
welcome kavita. glad to know this.
Welcome Neha. Glad to know that you are liking the recipes and they are helping you. Thanks for sharing your positive feedback. Happy cooking.
I cannot thank you enough for these amazing recipes!!! As always, this one was perfect as well!! Simple, yet so flavorful!!
Welcome Prajakti. Nice to know that you liked the recipe.
Thank u for the recipe..the taste turned out great..but thing is…the curry is watery..i want it to be a little thick..what should I do??
this curry is slightly watery. you can mash some chana and let it cook with then curry. take a handful of chana and grind in a blender or mixer with the curry stock. then add it to the curry and simmer till the curry becomes thick. or else you can mash with a spoon or masher. another option is to add mashed potatoes to thicken the curry.
I added gg paste instead of only garlic and added lil coconut paste for thickness..this recipe is a big hit at home, thanks a lot dear. god bless.
welcome aisha 🙂 thanks for positive feedback.
so y do we need to sprinkle garam masala at th end n nt while cooking. wat if I add it while cooking wl it chnge th taste.
you can add during cooking also. the flavors are best felt when you add them after cooking. generally garam masala made from spices which are sun dried are added when cooking. garam masala made from spices which are roasted are added after cooking is done. usually i sun dry spices when making garam masala. so i add them both while cooking as well as after cooking. hope this helps.
Your recipes are very good. I tried every time. I am accumulating so much praise in my family as I was not very fond of cooking.
thanks rupa for sharing this positive feedback. glad to hear this.
Any plans for non veg recipies ?
abhay we are pure vegetarian so there won't be any plans for non veg recipes.

Eluding suspect removed in straitjacket
November 09, 2019 at 5:00 am | By RALPH BARTHOLDT Staff Writer
COEUR d'ALENE — A half hour into Jacob Frey's wild first court appearance Friday in Coeur d'Alene, the magistrate had the defendant removed from the courtroom.
Frey, 37, was arrested a day earlier for eluding and two counts of aggravated battery after ramming two police cars as he attempted to flee from authorities. The chase that started in downtown Coeur d'Alene ended in Post Falls, where Frey's banged up silver GMC was stopped and Frey taken into custody.
First District Magistrate Timothy Van Valin had displayed patience for more than 30 minutes in a Friday proceeding that normally lasts half that long.
As Frey, strapped into a straitjacket, disrupted the hearing by yelling, crying and calling prosecutors liars while he lay his head on the defense table and complained loudly of medical conditions and the violation of his constitutional rights, Van Valin set Frey's bail at $2 million.
Barely audible over Frey's disruptions, Van Valin assigned the defendant a public attorney and told jailers to remove the still-yelling Frey from the room.
Frey's ordeal began Thursday around 3:15 p.m. when he cussed Kootenai County courthouse bailiffs, making a scene in the courthouse. Instead of appearing in court to face a felony stalking charge, Frey sat in his pickup truck in the parking lot outside sending emails to prosecutors, urging them to have a warrant issued for his arrest.
Minutes after a judge complied by issuing a warrant, authorities tried to arrest Frey.
He led four police cars on a chase heading west on Northwest Boulevard. Deputies attempted to ram the vehicle twice using a PIT technique, which forces fleeing cars to turn sideways abruptly, causing the driver to lose control and stop.
Frey successfully evaded the maneuver and continued fleeing toward Post Falls, striking two police vehicles on the way, bumping other cars and almost striking pedestrians, according to police reports.
Deputies used a K-9 to remove Frey from his pickup truck after his arrest.
In his pickup truck police found an armored vest, tasers, OC spray, armor piercing rounds, a handgun and a loaded AR-15 — Frey disputed that the rifle was loaded — along with several loaded magazines, according to court records.
Deputy prosecutor Rebecca Perez said she asked for the $2 million bond because Frey had quickly bonded out of jail after his arrest a week ago on the felony stalking charge by paying $100,000 bail.
While he was being taken into custody he threatened deputies and their families, Perez said.
"Lies, lies, lies," Frey yelled as Perez addressed the court.
Van Valin called Frey's actions horrendous. The lengthy chase during which Frey crossed into other lanes, struck cars and drove into oncoming traffic had "the potential for a tragic situation to happen," the judge said.
He ordered a preliminary hearing within 14 days.

Invasive enrollments do tend to be more expensive and complicated to arrange, with many more moving parts. But they often are the right choice for employers who are open to their use and are interested in high employee satisfaction and participation.
Stress levels in human resources departments have been rising for years, especially during open enrollment time. The number of decisions employees face, the importance of those choices, and the limited support for making them all add up to increased questions, confusion and frustration.

AMSC's former largest customer, China's Sinovel Wind Group Co. Ltd. (Sinovel) has agreed to pay it $57.5 million in two installments to settle a dispute over stealing its technology. It was also fined $1.5 million by a federal judge on July 9, concluding a key stage in a long-fought case of IT theft that stems back as far as 2011.
The story of what happened to AMSC, formerly known as American Superconductor Inc., is staggering in scope. While it made high-temp superconductor wire, AMSC's biggest focus was its proprietary technology to control wind turbines. The company had a $16 million profit for fiscal 2010, at which time it had some 700 employees and was on an international growth path. In early 2011, its stock traded as high as \(260 a share, but later that year, Sinovel, its largest customer, refused to accept a shipment. It was later shown at trial that Sinovel, through an AMSC employee, had stolen its technology. The subsequent losses were later said to be more than \)800 million.
The company cut its workforce in 2011 by 150 people, a 30% reduction, with further cuts made over the following years. A lengthy and expensive international legal battle was fought by AMSC in Chinese courts, and in 2013, the Justice Department announced charges against Sinovel. In the last 12 months, AMSC's stock price dropped to below \(3 a share, but bolstered by sales of its collective energy solutions products—and a key court victory on Jan. 24, 2018, where a U.S. jury found in favor of AMSC—and hopes of a significant settlement by Sinovel, it had risen to as much as \)8 a share, only to fall under $6 a share when news of the settlement and the judge's sentence was made on July 9.
AMSC President and CEO Daniel P. McGahn, who following the Jan. 24 jury finding declared that the outcome was "a victory for the rule of law," said that the resolution it had reached with Sinovel prior to the sentencing was an important step. "We valued the past cooperation between Sinovel and AMSC which was heralded as the example of Sino-U.S. cooperation in the new energy area. Through Sinovel's and AMSC's joint efforts, we have signed a settlement agreement to resolve the previous disputes in a constructive manner that we believe will enable us to move on with our respective businesses. This closes a challenging chapter for AMSC.".

Q: How to check if locally downloaded git repository was updated? And how to update it? I learned how to download a Git repository without a history (to save disk space and Internet traffic). I created file git-no-history.bat with this content:
git clone --depth 1 %1

Now I need to create files git-check.bat (check if my version is the last one) and git-update.bat (get to the last version). What should I write here?
If possible, also describe how to do these three operations in TortoiseGit.
No Linux Bash please; I have zero experience with it.

A: git-check.bat:
@echo off

git fetch origin
if %errorlevel% neq 0 goto end

rem #get number of new commits
FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('git rev-list HEAD...origin/master --count') DO set numofupdates=%%i

if [%numofupdates%]==[0] goto nothing_new

rem #get list of new commits
git log HEAD..origin/master --oneline

set ask=
set /p ask=Update? (y/n)
if not [%ask%]==[y] goto nah

echo Updating...
git merge origin
echo Done!
goto end

:nah
echo Nah...
goto end

:nothing_new
echo Nothing new
goto end

:end

rem Looks like `git pull` is the same as `git fetch origin` plus `git merge origin`.

I'll live without git-update.bat, it will require doing git fetch origin twice. Maybe there is a way to get time of last fetch, but that's too complex for bat.

Intrepid Theatre is taking its performance project about San Diego refugee students on a tour that the company hopes will reach 20 area schools this year.
The project, "Exiled Voices," originally told the stories of 13 young refugees, as interpreted by a variety of local songwriters, choreographers and other artists.
The touring version, which launched recently in Chula Vista, is a streamlined version that has a couple of the artists performing and talking about their works.
Intrepid is also now in the early stages of developing a new project about the "DREAMERers," in partnership with SAY San Diego.
One year ago, the stories of 13 young refugees from around the world played out on the stage of downtown's Horton Grand Theatre via dance, spoken word, song and other original creative works.
In the time since Intrepid Theatre premiered "Exiled Voices: The Refugee Art Project," a number of those works' subjects — who were all Crawford High School students at the time — have graduated or moved away from San Diego.
But their struggles and triumphs continue to reverberate — this time on a whole new series of stages.
In partnership with the youth social-services nonprofit SAY San Diego, Intrepid has launched a school tour of "Exiled Voices," with hopes of bringing a condensed version of the project to as many as 20 campuses around the region this year.

I'm slowly working on getting the site back up to date and I have a new main site layout with images of Adrianne from her role on Agents. She may not be on the show anymore but I really loved her look from this series! The theme was done by @MonicaNDesign and the header was done by Kimberly. I hope you enjoy it, I really wanted to go with a darker theme this time around. A new gallery layout will be added soon as well!

Agents of SHIELD Showrunners Explain Marvel's Most Wanted Spinoff Plan
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD's showrunners are preparing to say goodbye to two of their ensemble of characters. With the news that ABC has ordered a pilot for Marvel's Most Wanted, Maurissa Tancharoen and Jed Whedon could be sending off Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) if the pilot gets ordered to series.
"Logistically it does mean they're going to be leaving to make that," Whedon told IGN at ABC's Television Critics Association winter press tour part. "They're a part of our show. We definitely think they are capable of carrying an entire other show. That being said, it's sort of bittersweet. We're very excited about the new show."
Tacharoen continued, "It's very bittersweet because we have a bunch of females on the show who kick ass. It was so nice to have Adrianne be one of them, and then also just when it comes to the humor, just having a moment of levity, Hunter was there to have those one-liners. …Â That was something we could always bet on."
She noted that just because Morse and Hunter could be getting their own show doesn't mean they'll never return to Agents of SHIELD. "We will miss them, but that doesn't mean they're gone forever because, as everything in the Marvel universe, it's all one universe," she said.
Whedon added, "They'll have to step away for a moment, and we're very proud of that moment."
HIELD producers Jeff Bell and Paul Zbyszewski co-created Marvel's Most Wanted and co-wrote its pilot, and will also serve as showrunners and executive producers if it gets picked up to series. Morse and Hunter's storyline in Agents of SHIELD: Season 3, which Bell and Zbyszewski are both working on, has offered some hints as to how the two characters could spin off into their own series. Whedon opened up about how SHIELD can be used as a launching board for Most Wanted.
"We're pretending that there's no such thing as a pilot, that it's only characters who live in a world where there's superheroes. We just know at some point they're going to have to go somewhere else," he said. "We have a lot of characters and we're always introducing new characters, so while they're going to be missed, we're certainly not going to try to replace them in any way."

By Myself [Daily Game] | Dre Baldwin - Creator & Author of "Work On Your Game"
I don't play ball anymore, but I like going to a court by myself every now and then and taking some shots. No running or jumping, no moves, it's not even a workout. Just me, the ball and the court.
Alone time is at a premium these days. In The 50th Law, Robert Greene traced man's problems to his inability to sit alone in a room by himself. Silence makes people uncomfortable. Boredom is… boring.
The next time you're out in public, look for a person who's by him or herself — what is he doing?
You don't even have to experiment to answer: on his phone — while walking (people walk the street not even looking at who's walking past them), driving (stand on a street and look at each passing driver — 80% are talking or typing on their phones), and standing idle. And it's not because there are so many pressing matters happening that we need to be on a device at all times. We've grown very uncomfortable with having only ourselves as a companion. The phone and all the people on it keep us company.
We feel awkward in our own company.
You can see it on social media every day: Most people mimic and go along with whatever the popular thing of the moment is, even if they don't know anything about it and even if they don't completely agree with it. It's no coincidence that we measure social media success by counting followers.
It's cool to be a follower in 2018, and you can quickly get more of them by following what's popular— diss the President, use the trendy hashtag, say something negative about the person the public has decided to attack this week (recently: rapper Fabolous, then Tony Robbins, now it's Tristan Thompson), and BOOM! New followers appear.
If you follow, listen to or subscribe to me, understand: My purpose is not to have some number of followers, but to create new Leaders.
You can't lead if all you do is follow what everyone else is doing (these days, for example, everyone is starting a podcast— 93% of these podcasts will have nothing useful to add to a conversation). You can't lead if you don't have a unique, against-the-grain opinion. You can't lead if you're uncomfortable being by yourself.
You make time to spend with people you love, those you care about, or anyone you deem to be important. Do you check all those boxes for yourself? Then make time for yourself. Phone on Airplane Mode, no distractions, just you. Try it. It's weird to even think about, isn't it?
Being yourself is your stand-out strategy. Problem for many people is they've forgotten who they are, all this following we're doing nowadays. That's why this alone time is so important. Reintroduce you to you. I have a live upcoming class in Miami that can help you.
Ah, but where would you find the time? Steal it from time you give other people: social media, television, concerts, hanging out, etc… the time is there, if you're willing to claim it for yourself.
When's the last time you made time for just yourself, with no distractions? Why not more often? Reply and talk to me.

Post your ideal game ideas!
SteelFin
January 17, 2010 7:20:39 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire Forums
Lets say right now you had a great deal of money, resources, and the time to develop your own game. What would you create?
5 years ago I would have wanted to make a really fun, great looking WW2 RTS. Since then, the market seems almost flooded with them. My ideal game to make right now would be a cross between Nexus: The Jupiter Incident, Freelancer, and X3. Focus is on fun tactical real time battles similar to Nexus but also on character/ship progression in an open ended setting. Battles would not be just point and click or activate this ability. Instead your focus is on one ship and where the complexity and strategy comes in is how you load out, position your weapons, and really use your ship in battle. You do the manuerving, determine when to unleash a broadside, when to board and join the boarding party, etc.. It would have lots of ship customization, classes of ships, and crew to choose from so you have some attachment with the ship you are captain of.
Battles would range from small skirmishes in high orbit to giantic Sins of A Solar Empire size fleet engagements in deep space. Even though you have direct control over just one ship, you could have a major impact on the course of the battle depending on what actions you take. As you progress further and gather a fleet, you can order other ships in battle but not have the same level of control as you do over your own ship.
The open world freedom would be like freelancer and X3 where you have a huge galaxy to do what you want. It would work similar to some RPG games where there is a main story line of missions you can choose to do but also you are free do do what you want.
I am thinking several paths where you could work your way up in a faction specific military, be a mercenary, or carve out your own empire and build your own fleet.
What game would you make?

I for one would enjoy adding a new chapter to the Metroid franchise: after the Galactic Federation is destroyed by the Space Pirates, Samus has to team up with the Silver Legion (a bizzarre half-good-half-evil organization originating in a parallel universe similar to our own, yet utilizing GF technology which they got through some event I haven't thought of yet that actually caused the fall of the Fed) in order to keep the Pirates from trashing Samus's universe, the Legion's universe, and potentially others as well.
I might also actually want to do something with the Legion in its own right as well: they are formed after a madman by the name of Alfred Kellerman uses technology from a long-lost alien race called the Orutani (not really alien, they were the dominant sentient lifeform on Earth before we came along) to forcibly overthrow the governments of the US, the EU nations, Israel, India, and a few other countries as well. The only people who know about the technology and want to stop Kellerman get together and form the Silver Legion resistance organization, but have to deal with him in the three different parralel universes the Orutani (and now Kellerman) could travel between.
EDIT: Do you think Orutani sounds better hyphenated (Oru-Tani)?
Sounds like a fantastic game. I loved the basics of Freelancer, but I always hated how it was kind of limited still. I like the idea of a single, player-owned ship that is extremely customisable - it reminds me of Mech Warrior, but in space. And that's not a bad idea in my opinion. As long as the combat was more involved than the Freelancer model - which I felt was a bit of a step backwards from the likes of Tie Fighter - then I think it would generate a decent amount of interest.
There are two games I'd love to see done: one is a good version of SPORE. Everything about SPOREs presentation was fine - even the art style - however the gameplay simply lacked in pretty much all areas. The first thing that needs to be done is more depth added to every stage of the game - more to do, and less focus on combat. Being a peace loving race shouldn't make the game un-fun or require the player to play the game on lesser difficulty levels. And, my god, add some creature AI to the wild creatures in Space Stage. I don't care if this means we have a small loading screen every time we enter/exit a planet - make them unique and interesting. Random movement code pulled from basic RPG Makers doesn't make for a living, breathing Universe. And, for the love of god, let us get out of the ship and walk on the surface of any Planet we come across. For me, SPORE could have been the greatest game of all time. Instead, it was the single biggest disappointment in the history of Video Games.
The second is a throw back to the old SNES RPGs. Using an engine much like HoNs, create a random medieval fantasy world that the player lives in. The focus isn't on the 'main story' rather just the day-to-day life the player wants to live - and allow them a multitude of 'careers'. Thief, Soldier, Explorer, Hunter, etc. The best way to describe the game is simple:
Animal Crossing + Rune Factory + Diablo II = Awesome sauce. At least for me.

I would create a game where you had to go through the hardship of making a band work. Like balancing other aspects of the band memebers life. Like you control the lives of 4 high school kids trying to make it as a band. You have to have them do their homework or work to get money to buy instruments. Each kid would have a random set of parents that would push the kids in diffeent ways like forcing them to work hard on their grades and stuff or push them to get a job. You would have to find times for them to practice and write songs. Itd be a lot like rock tour tycoon but a lot harder to actualy become famous and make fans. It'd be very realistic and very hard to win but it would be different everytime so you could have replayabilty.

ninja fps/rpg...I just cannot reconcile the idea that we, as a civilization, can churn out 4 call of duties, 3 battlefields, 2 deus exs, two and a half half lifes, 4 quakes, 3 dooms and yet no ninja game...fail humanity...fail

There are actually- BF1942+R2R+SWoWW2, BFV+WW2Mod, BF2+SF+EF+AF, BF:MC, BF2142+NS, BF:BC, BF:Heroes, BF1943, BF:BC2.
That totals to 8 Battlefield titles. Only '1942, 'Nam, '2, '2142, and Heroes are any good, as Modern Combat was a crappy console game, BC was console only (which automatically makes it bad for the PC gamer, since he can't play it). '1943 and BC2 aren't out yet, so no one can say.

Reply #6 March 1, 2010 7:41:44 PM
Hi, im new and I just had a super original idea for a game, Its about a boy named Esokira Synosis who wealds the leagendary Kunami blade. He lives in the year 2020, where demons and humans live in peace. Lucifer is the ruler of earth and the under world, and Lucifer has something against Esokira and is trying to elimanate him. Esokira is running away fom the force tring to find out why hes being hunted down. On his way he teams up with some allies(A sledge hammer weilding human named Rysed, and an elf named Alina.) and makes some more enemies(The evil scientist Hynomatic, and Esokira`s telkenetic evil clone nammed Light.). Its an rpg and i need to know if anyone knows anything that can help me make the sprites. Thanks and tell me what you think of my idea!

It is somewhat embarassing, but I tend to like battlefield beat 'em ups. So if I could make any game, I'd start by taking the formula from Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders, and adapting it to the 360/PS3 generation.
~For a quick run down of KUF:TC~
Essentially you're an officer of a military unit in a medieval fantasy setting. Your unit is just one of many on the battlefield, both on land and in the sky. You have some sub officers too, that do special attacks as you build up command points from thrashing enemies or using tactics(e.g. having cavalry repeatedly charge through enemy lines with an additional bonus for attacking from the side or rear of their unit, having archers attack from high ground on the battlefield, facing an enemy with the sun at your back to lower enemy accuracy and defenses, etc). Not only do you control your character, ala Koei's Dynasty Warriors series, but you can issue orders(and queue them up SoaSE-style) to other units under your control on the battlefield. Between missions you get more gear for yourself and your men, and can change their class with the right leadership points. Later on you fight massive living siege engines and aerial monsters, or even blimp-style dwarven bombers and battleships.
But instead of just having you assault empty fields and whatnot, I'd adapt the game and add a few touches from game's like Koei's Bladestorm or even Age of Empires 2. Specifically, the ability to assault large castles or even towns. Enemy fortifications would make sense too, such as having archers and ballistae on the walls to assault your units from afar. Others would be circled by moats, with a portcullis at the entrances that would need to be knocked down. Alternatively, you'd be given the ability to separate from your unit(a la the bodyguard orders from games like Dynasty Warriors) and infiltrate those places. Perhaps an aerial unit will pick you up and drop you on the walls, where you'd descend into the place and take on the guards from within. But that also means that you'd be able to ride aerial units, making the game somewhat like Lair in that regard. Or, for those that really want to focus on the command aspect, you'd be able to ride inside one of the aerial bombing or battleship blimps. When in such a unit, your subofficers would provide bonuses for the ship, and be able to use their spells from the air. The idea is to blend aerial and ground combat in a way that the player can participate in either according to their whims.
Since a number of games thrive on multiplayer these days, there would be a Kingdom Versus mode, where humans could control opposing armies and send them against one another. Perhaps you'd also get a number of Defense Points to add traps and extra fortifications to your main base. Obviously good management of unit deployment formations and application of archers, mortars, and cavalry would be key to victory. But for the co-op minded folks, there'd be a Fortification Assault mode, where multiple players take on the role of officers in a larger army, all with sub-units of their own, and attempt to take on a massive AI-controlled fortress. On the flipside, there would be a Fortification Defense mode where players attempt to hold off a massive hoard of monsters.
Overall, think RTS meets Beat 'em Up.

Meryl Davis & Charlie White Voice their Thoughts about Next Week's Hilton Honors Grand Prix in Detroit
(10 October 2013) White, who turns 26 on October 24, explained, "We were very happy with the way the U.S. international classic went (in Salt Lake City last month). We did a good job, got the programs both out there, felt how they went in competition, very successfully, and saw what we still had to do, to accomplish what we have strived for all these years.
"The (Hilton HHonors) Skate America is going to be in our home town (Detroit). It's going to be a great competition. I don't think we've actually competed here for at least ten years, so that's great that many of our relatives and friends can get to see us compete in person and not just on the television. When did we compete in Detroit last? – It has to be at least 10 years ago. It's exciting for us. Both our families live in area and having them be there, watching us live instead of on the television, is tremendous. Maybe, we'll be more nervous. We don't want to let them down. My parents are organizing the seats, etc. I have no idea how many are involved, but I'm sure it's an overwhelming amount.
"Our preparation is interesting. Even though we are close enough to live at home during the event, we don't want to do that. We want to follow the normal pattern, where we are in the official hotel, with everyone else. We don't want to cut ourselves off, because we know what has worked for us in the past and we want to stick to that. We don't want to change anything."
Davis explained, "This year we are paying particular attention to the musicality of our programs." Their Short Program is set to three pieces of music from the British show, "My Fair Lady", beginning with "I Could Have Danced All Night". White explained, "Our expectations go beyond any given placement."
His partner added, "The first past of the music is after she has been transformed from a lower class cockney flower girl. She's now very elegant and has just been declared the belle of the ball. The music is bubbly, light, elegant and fun."
White explained, "The Short is all about getting the Levels. The Finnstep has two of the five elements, so that's a critical area, that's what we work most on, the little things on the footwork." Their Free Dance uses Russian music from Rimsky Korsakov's beloved "Scheherazade". "We had toyed with using this piece a few years ago. We're glad now we saved it. Since it's Russian music, it's our way of honoring the Russian influence in dance in general, and, specifically, our coach's heritage."
Davis added, "It never hurts to have the support of the crowd. At the end of the day, it's really about moving the audience and making that emotional impact."
Davis stresses, "Charlie and I really want to enjoy the process. We idolized the American ice dancers who came before us and whom we saw while we were climbing the ladder. It wasn't just one team. We admired and took inspiration from everyone we grew up with, watching their growth and learning from their progress. I remember Peter (Tchernyshev) & Naomi (Lang), Jamie (Silverstein) & Justin (Pekarek), and, of course, Tanith (Belbin) & Ben (Agosto). They and many others, taught us by example, to stand straighter, to react to the music more and to the audiences, and to push ourselves. They were invaluable for our progress. From other countries, we particular admired (Marina) Anissina & (Gwendal) Peizerat."
Davis started skating when she was five on a frozen lake near the family's home. White began on a family outing when he was four and was primarily interested in hockey. His team won the state championship. He gave up the game after breaking an ankle which took him out of the 2005 nationals and World Junior Championships.
They have won a huge amount of medals, starting with their first gold in the 1997 Eastern Great Lakes Juvenile Regional championship up to their second world title last March in Canada and in last month's U.S. classic.
In the world championship last March, which was held in London, Ontario, in Virtue's home town, the Canadians lost primarily because of Tessa Virtue's mistake on the Twizzles, causing her partner, Scott Moir, to state, "Twizzles are the ice dancers' quad!" The two couples have trained together in Canton since that rink opened and Marina Zoueva moved down with them from Canada.
Davis, who was born on New Year's Day 1987, was asked about their main rivals. "Charlie & I train with Tessa & Scott so we don't have to wait to see them. We are aware of all the progress they are making on a daily basis. They are brilliant skaters with wonderful material and they inspire us to work our hardest, every day! We both benefit from our close encounters. When you are feeling tired and they zip past you, it makes you try that little bit harder. It makes the day go faster and more productively."
It's a far cry from when they were teamed up. The duo's mothers well remember that stage. The children didn't really speak to each other, and, despite an early coach's instruction, that White must look at Davis when they were dancing together, he was too shy to do that. Finally, Davis's mother stuck a post-it on her daughter's forehead and told White to look at that, which worked!
Last Thursday, when the team phoned in for their press conference, Davis was asked how training was going. She replied, "Swimmingly". The two-rink facility, not that far from the Detroit Airport, is a functional, airy place. But too much hot air was getting in from outside, leaving the not so good situation of "Really warm ice!"
Both couples benefited from their experience last December in Sochi, in the "Iceberg" Arena on which the figure skating and Short Track Speed medals will be earned next February. The Russian President, who has a secondary residence in Sochi, turned up while the ice dancers were warming up. Davis remembers that moment. "There was a huge roar from crowd. We looked up at the video in the center of the roof, which was showing him in the seats, and I said, "Oh My Gosh! It's Vladimir Putin." That was awesome. It shows how much Russians care about skating. Of course, we needed to focus on ourselves at that stage, but we do need to feed off the expression of the crowd, too.
"The arena is beautiful. We were surprised at how prepared it was. Everything was in order. The stadium was extremely comfortable."
New, this season, of course, is that there will be a team event in Sochi. White said, "It's a new wrinkle. We should have a very strong team. It's awesome to have another opportunity for gold on Olympic ice. Meryl and I are really going to relish it. We really want to go out and do our best. Other people will be relying on us. We want to unite the USA.
"This time around, we're not the new kids anymore. This is our second Olympic Games and it will be different. The first time we were bright eyed and bushy tailed – still in awe of everything. But now we are more prepared and expect more from ourselves. We're really hungry for the best performance of our lives. We're coming in knowing what we learned from Vancouver. The biggest thing is that we can handle any scenario. We realize how much confidence we should have in ourselves. We got the silver medal in 2010 in Vancouver before we had even won a world medal. (They were fourth by a sliver in the 2009 world championship. Both Virtue & Moir, who got the bronze, and Davis & White earned a total that year of 200 points. The Canadians overall score was 200.40; Davis & White had 200.36! They lost the bronze by 4/100 th of a point!)
White explained, "It's illogical to say the Games are like any other competition. They are much bigger and important. We have to arrange for us to be the most comfortable we can be. Marina talks with us and makes us feel comfortable. I don't think we'll be changing any tactics mentally. Our expectations go beyond any given placement. We want to stay in character from beginning to end, and we want to keep the audience enthralled."
One thing White knows is that it won't be entirely a trip focused that is focused on figure skating. "You can are at an Olympic Games too long, to only think of skating 24/7. "I am planning to watch some hockey. Definitely!"

Discover ChooseFI 255 | If People Can Do it Then I Can Do it Too | Leslie Tayne Connects with Vivian
255 | If People Can Do it Then I Can Do it Too | Leslie Tayne Connects with Vivian
Picking back up with the Household of FI series, Vivian is a single mom who found FI in the last year, but initially, it seemed impossible. It wasn't until she was introduced to the ChooseFI podcast and saw real people reaching financial independence that she believed she could do it too.
Vivian has been dealing with a number of challenges: a cancer diagnosis, a child custody battle, and caring for parents who have no savings of their own.
As a pharmacist, she earns a significant income. She's already managed to pay off $300,000 in student loans in six years and believes she can save $60,000 a year.
Vivian has been paired with mentor, Leslie Tayne, also a single mom and attorney who helps people with debt relief.
Leslie acknowledges that what Vivian is going through with her separation is one the most challenging times in her life and it is a very emotional experience along with being financially damaging. However, there is a light on the other side and she will come out with more freedom and more control.
Because her significant other's mom used to watch her child while she was a work, childcare is a challenge right now. Childcare is expensive and not something you can find discounts on.
As an attorney, Leslie helps her clients to fix their financial messes without judgment. She doesn't believe in a debt-free life since life has its ups and downs. Instead, it's okay if being debt-free is not realistic. We should learn to embrace our debt but what is important is how you manage the debt.
Due to the separation, Vivian will be selling the house that is entirely in her name. If she makes a profit, she should talk to her tax preparer about qualifying for a capital gains exemption.
Vivian is also interested in ways to save for her child's college education to which Leslie offers several options: contributing to a 529 plan, a state pre-pay program, or a regular savings account.
There are tax advantages to contributing to a 529 plan over a savings account and should Vivian's child decide to not go to school, the money in the 529 plan may be used for grandchildren or withdrawn with earnings taxed at regular income tax rates.
The Texas pre-pay option would allow Vivian to lock in current undergraduate tuition rates and required fees.
When it comes to budgeting for groceries, Leslie says that her family mostly eats at home and orders out just once a week. One trick to not overspending at the grocery store is not to take the children with you, shop with a list, don't allow yourself to get distracted, and buy non-perishables in bulk.
When you have no choice but to bring your child with you, you can allow them to pick one item so that they can pick something they want without filling your cart with everything they want. It limits your financial exposure when shopping.
While eating out, rather than order a kid's meal, share bites of your own meal, and develop a taste for adult foods.
Vivian's daughter is not yet attending pre-K schooling, due to the virus but may be able to find reasonably-priced options that give her the option to socialize.
Because her significant other has not been cooperative during their separation, all of the attorney costs and other fees have gotten be very expensive. Vivian needs to be as cooperative as possible to limit her financial exposure.
Leslie says a good piece of advice is don't marry or get involved with anyone you don't want to be divorced from.
It's often advisable to keep finances separate in a relationship and protect any assets with a prenup or postnup because it is very tricky to untangle them should the relationship end.
Everyone should look at what deciding to combine finances in a relationship really means and how it impacts things.
Brad reviewed the capital gains tax question and said because Vivian has lived there for at least two of the last five years, she would be eligible for up to $250,000 in capital gains tax exclusion.
The decisions being made should be ones that will make life better over the long-term. Brad's goal is to set the groundwork for a successful life.
Jonathan notes that Vivian doesn't appear to have an issue with her savings rate, instead, she may be at risk of slipping into a deprivation state. To fight this urge, Brad believes we need to have a better idea of what the path looks like for her.

Home About Us History of Milford
The 'History of Milford' started with the Little Company of Mary establishing the nursing home in 1928 and then in 1977 they decided to dedicate nine of those beds as palliative care beds.
In 1983, in response to growing need they built a twenty bed Hospice Unit on the campus.
In 1998 Milford Care Centre became a Company Limited by Guarantee, with the appointment of a Board of Directors. Now, as then, the Sisters remained actively involved in the governance of the Centre.
With increasing regulation it became obvious that the Nursing Home needed to be moved to more appropriate accommodation and a decision was taken in the mid-1990s to redevelop the Centre. In 1999 a seventy seven bed unit opened with thirty beds for those with a palliative care diagnosis and forty seven beds for the Nursing Home.
In 2000 a Day Care Centre was introduced covering palliative care (two days per week) and older person's care (three days per week). The first Consultant in Palliative Medicine was appointed.
In 2003/2004 the Hospice at Home service was expanded on a pilot basis and, this having been successful, further growth in this service commenced in late 2006 and a consultant-led multi-disciplinary team is now in place.
A second Consultant in Palliative Medicine was appointed in late 2005.
In 2007 the Centre was accredited by the Irish Health Services Accreditation Board and was the first facility to be accredited for both palliative care and nursing home care.
Building work took place during 2007/2009 and accommodation was provided for the medical, Hospice at Home and Education, Research and Professional Development services, assessment and treatment facilities and additional Day Care space.
In 2010 further development funding was made available by the HSE which, among other things, allowed the Day Care Centres to extend their operations. Today Older Persons Day Care runs five days a week and Palliative Day Care opened for a third day.
A third Consultant in Palliative Medicine was appointed in August 2011.
None of this would have been possible without the initiative and foresight of the Little Company of Mary, the Board of Directors and the Centre's Management Team, allied to financial support from our stakeholders: the Health Service Executive (and its predecessor, the Mid Western Health Board), philanthropic organisations, other voluntary agencies and those who contribute to our fundraising either through donations or through organising events.

CJC-1295 is a tetrasubstituted 30-amino acid peptide hormone, primarily functioning as a growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) analog. It was invented by ConjuChem, a Canadian biotechnology company. One of the advantages of CJC-1295 over traditional GHRH or rHGH is its ability to bioconjugate with serum albumin, thus increasing its half-life and therapeutic window. It accomplishes this by using protecting groups around the amino acids of GHRH typically susceptible to enzymatic degradation. ConjuChem initiated clinical trials for CJC-1295 during the mid-2000s. The objective of the drug was to treat visceral fat deposits in obese AIDS patients, as increased levels of exogenous HGH are presumed to increase lipolysis (fat loss). The trial was ultimately successful for most research subjects.

Jillian Cantor is the author of the new novel The Lost Letter. Her other books include The Hours Count and Margot. She lives in Arizona.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for The Lost Letter?
A: My agent gave me the first spark when we were talking about what I might write next and she asked if I'd ever thought about the people who designed stamps. (I hadn't until then!) I started some research from there and began to learn all the ways stamps were actually used in the resistance in World War II.
And beyond that, my grandmother passed away a few years ago of Alzheimer's and I was thinking a lot about her and about memory, the way memory both leaves us and stays with us in strange ways. That's the heart of this story for me.
A: To be honest, I'd never thought much about stamps or stamp collecting before I started this book.
Before I started writing – actually before I had any idea what the story was, only that it was something about a stamp engraver – I visited the Postal History Museum in Tucson and asked the librarians there lots of questions. I left with a bunch of articles about engraving and a pile of old books, stamp guides like the ones Katie finds in the book.
I also visited the Holocaust Memorial Museum in D.C. around the same time and spent a while in their wonderful resistance exhibit. I did a lot of online research as well, about resistance groups, stamps and stamp collecting, Austria, Berlin before and after the wall fell in the 1980s.
I watched this excellent German TV series, Deutschland 83, which gave me a sense of life in Germany in the 1980s – I was lucky that it happened to be airing the summer I was drafting the book.
What surprised me the most is how much I learned about the 1980s, from a historical perspective while doing research. It's the first "historical" time I've written about where I was alive, and I feel like I remember it well. But as I researched, I realized I wasn't aware of so much of the important worldwide and political events at the time.
Q: The book takes place in Austria in 1939 and also in Los Angeles a half-century later. Did you write the chapters in the order in which they appear, or did you focus more on one time period before tackling the other?
A: Yes, I did write the chapters in the order they appear. I always knew how the stories would be connected so I felt it was important to write it in the order it would be read, to get a sense of this connectedness and pacing as I drafted it the first time.
When I was revising, however, I revised one storyline at a time, reading and revising each time period straight through as a separate story.
Q: You write in your Author's Note about a letter of your own that's important to you. What role do you see letters playing in people's lives, and will that continue in the age of texts and emails?
A: I don't know that letters have much of a role in people's lives any more? Except that handwritten notes are almost so rare that writing one – or getting one – really means something. I love texts and emails, but as I wrote this book, I did pause to wonder if in 20 or 30 years I'll regret not having any tangible written communication to hold onto, as in the past.
A: I'm in the early stages of a new historical novel. Too early to say much, but it's another dual point of view, dual timeline story that takes place in the 1940s.
Thank you so much for having me on your blog, Deborah!

History of the Open
Throughout history women have played golf and in Australia, the Women's Australian Open has provided a vehicle in which to showcase our elite golfers, emerging golfers and to inspire Australians to take up the game of golf.
As our leading young players develop and grow from outstanding amateur players to elite professionals, women's golf in Australia has grown and adapted and the re-emergence of the Women's Australian Open for 2007 is a sign of the times that professional women's golf in Australia is back and here to stay.
In 2003 there were nine Australian women turning professional, in 2005 there were 19 and currently 44 Australian women play professionally on the international circuits.
In 2007 we look forward to the return of Australia's national women's championship, the MFS Women's Australian Open which will be held at The Royal Sydney Golf Club 1 – 4 February.
The event has an integral place in Australian women's golf history. The first Australian Ladies Open Championship was played at Victoria Golf Club in Melbourne in February 1974. The winner of the Championship, sponsored by W D & H O Wills, was Japan's Chako Higuchi with a 54-hole total of 219. The total prize fund was $10,000.
In 1975 Qantas joined Wills as tournament sponsors and the championship was played at the Australian Golf Club in Sydney in March. The dominating force in golf at that time, JoAnne Carner of the USA, won with a score of 228 over a rain-sodden three days. The prize fund was $15,000.
In March 1976, the event returned to Victoria Golf Club and American tour star, Donna Caponi Young, blitzed the field with a three-round total of 206, including a record-shattering second round of 64.
Manly Golf Club in Sydney hosted the 1977 championship. Unfortunately, torrential rain made the course unplayable shortening the event to 36 holes. Home-town hero and emerging world star, Jan Stevenson, emerged victorious defeating Pat Bradley from the USA in a play-off. Both players scored 145 for the two rounds.
In 1978 at the same venue US tour star Debbie Austin left the field in her wake in what was to be the final Ladies Australian Open Championship for 16 years. She won with a three-round total of 213; prize money remained at $15,000.
The event was resurrected in 1994 with a new name and sponsor. The Holden Women's Australian Open Championship was played at Royal Adelaide Golf Club in December with prize money of $200,000. The 72-hole championship was won by Sweden's Annika Sorenstam with rounds of 68, 72, 72 and 74 (286). This was her first tournament win as a professional and heralded the beginning of a stellar career. The event also was notable for Karrie Webb who made her debut as a professional.
In 1995 the championship moved to Yarra Yarra Golf Club in Melbourne, where it was to remain until 2002. The championship was played in November and culminated in an exciting three-way play off between defending champion Sorenstam, Karrie Webb looking for her first victory on home soil, and Swedish star, Liselotte Neumann , all of whom finished with a 72-hole score of 283. Neumann finally prevailed on the third play-off hole. The prize fund was $250,000 and the event attracted several overseas marquee players.
The 1996 championship, with a purse of $300,000 was Holden's final year of sponsorship. Scotland's Catriona Matthew won the event with a total of 283.
In November 1997 Toyota took up the sponsorship opportunity, and the championship was won by Jane Crafter, one of Australia's most popular and enduring players. She took command from day one with a blistering 8 under par, 65, and her 279 total prevailed by three.
AAMI became the major sponsor of the Women's Open in 1998- a relationship that would continue until 2003- and with a prize fund of $350,000, New Zealand's Marnie Maguire followed up a successful year on the Japanese circuit with victory here. Her four round total was 280.
Due to a change of date from November to February the Open was not played in 1999.
It resumed in February 2000 at Yarra Yarra Golf Club, and what a championship it was! Co-sanctioned with the Ladies European Tour for the first time, there was a capacity field of 156 players from around the world. In a last day shoot-out with Laura Davies and Rachel Hetherington, Karrie Webb finally held aloft the Women's Open Championship Patricia Bridges Bowl. With rounds of 71, 66, 69 and 64 (270) Webb finally shook off the determined Hetherington with a chip in for an eagle three on the 70th hole. Hetherington shot 70, 70, 68 and 65 (273) and Davies 69, 70, 70 and 66 (275).
In 2001 Sophie Gustafson became the third Swede to take out the title defeating Karrie Webb by one stroke, following in the footsteps of Annika Sorenstam and Liselotte Neumann. She shot 276 with rounds of 70, 69, 66 and 71. The prize fund increased to $400,000.
Karrie Webb regained the trophy she had won two years earlier, defeating Norwegian Suzann Pettersen on the first play-off hole in another classic finish. Although inclement weather dampened most players' ability to score low, Webb and Pettersen ended the event eight strokes clear of their nearest rivals on 278. Yarra Yarra's seven-year run as Open host finished here in 2002. The prize fund reached a sizeable $500,000 for the first time.
In 2003 Terrey Hills Golf & Country Club hosted the AAMI Women's Australian Open, returning to Sydney after a 25-year break. Scotland's Mhaire McKay shot scores of 72, 67, 71 and 67 for a total of 277. England's Laura Davies was second and Australia's Rachel Teske third.
The 2004 AAMI Women's Australian Open had an increased prize fund of $550,000 and was held at Concord Golf Club in Sydney. The final round was not completed until the Monday morning due to weather conditions. Laura Davies finally won her first Australian Open with scores of 68, 68, 77 and 70 (283) by a runaway six strokes. Australia's Rachel Teske finished second with 73, 71, 71 and 74 (289).
The Women's Australian Open was not held in 2005 or 2006.
The MFS Women's Australian Open will be held in 2007 at The Royal Sydney Golf Club from 1st – 4th February 2007 with a prize fund of $550,000.
Including the fantastic support and commitment demonstrated by MFS, Golf Australia also acknowledges the support of the New South Wales Government, Fisher and Paykel, and The Royal Sydney Golf Club for the 2007 MFS Women's Australian Open.

Q: Filling NaN using the mean values from the same hour of previous days I want to fill NaN using a mean of values from the same hour-minutes of the previous days. To simplify, this is an example of my df.
timstamp         data
22/04/2016 09:00 1
22/04/2016 09:05 2
...
23/04/2016 09:00 3
23/04/2016 09:05 4
...
24/04/2016 09:00 5
24/04/2016 09:05 6
...
25/04/2016 09:00 7
25/04/2016 09:05 8
...
25/04/2016 10:00 NaN
25/04/2016 10:05 NaN

The real data contains many days with continuous 5-minute intervals.
df = df.groupby(df.index.minute).fillna(df.data.rolling(3).mean()) attempted to do rolling mean from the previous hour-minute on the past days but it did not work.
An alternative method of df = df.groupby(df.index.minute).ffill() take values from the previous two lines (i.e. 7 and 8) which comes from the same minutes of the previous hour on the same day.
However, I want the following result:
timstamp         data
22/04/2016 09:00 1
22/04/2016 09:05 2
...
23/04/2016 09:00 3
23/04/2016 09:05 4
...
24/04/2016 09:00 5
24/04/2016 09:05 6
...
25/04/2016 09:00 7
25/04/2016 09:05 8
25/04/2016 10:00 3
25/04/2016 10:05 4

where the value 3 (second last line) is the mean of the values from the same hour-minute of the previous days (mean of 1, 3, and 5), and 4 (last line) is the mean of 2, 4, and 6. Given the size of my df, I want to take a mean from tens of previous days.
Edit
I am getting closer. Using the following code, the mean of the data is calculated by similar hours and minutes as I wanted:
df.set_index('timstamp', inplace=True)
df=df.groupby([df.index.hour, df.index.minute]).mean()
df.index.names = ["hour", "minute"]

But, it uses the entire data to get the hour-minute mean. What I wanted is to use the same hour-minutes from the previous days only, where I can set the number of past days in the calculation. Then, the resulted mean value shall be used to fill the NaN.

A: Let's try this:
# time sample every 5 mins
idx = pd.date_range('2018-01-01', '2018-01-31', freq='300s')
np.random.seed(2019)

# create toy data
df = pd.DataFrame({'idx':idx,
                   'data':np.random.uniform(0,5, len(idx))})
df.loc[np.random.uniform(0,1,len(idx)) > 0.95, 'data'] = None

# means by the hour, can also use median
means = df.resample('H', on='idx').data.mean()

# get the timestamp on the hour
df['hour'] = df['idx'] - pd.to_timedelta(df.idx.dt.minute, unit='m')

# get the hour stamp of previous day
df['hour'] -= pd.to_timedelta(1, unit='d')

# update NaN
# df.loc[df.data.isna(), 'data'] = means[nan_hour]

# the original mapping raised a ValueError due to duplicates in nan_hour
df.loc[df.data.isna(), 'data'] = df.loc[df.data.isna(), 'hour'].\
                                    replace({'hour': means})

Rec Your Stress at Utah State Provides Relief for Students
by John Reecer
in Mental Health, Programming
Images courtesy of Utah State University
To combat the stress and anxiety that hits nearly all students at the end of each term, Utah State University (USU) Campus Recreation ran its end-of-semester Rec Your Stress event from December 5-7.
Ran in partnership with Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), students were treated to three straight days of relaxing, healthy activities to escape from the tribulations of academia.
Amanda Bray, the assistant director of Healthy Lifestyle Programs and Community Engagement, said the event usually takes place during USU's No Test Week which occurs right before finals week.
"We had really good traffic throughout the event," said Bray. "At the end of the day, everybody is trying to do something to help students out. Anytime we can provide an opportunity for students is good for us because we are in this job for them."
Activity Slate
On December 5, the Rec Your Stress programming kicked off with the "Stress Bust" in the Aggie Recreation Center. This provided students with various mental health modules focusing on belly breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, mindfulness and meditation, healthy thinking, test anxiety, body acceptance, self-care, and more.
Along with these module sessions, participants could also play board games, mindfully eat treats and interact with therapy dogs.
The second day featured two events. The Aggie Recreation Center Loft played host to a 7 a.m. yoga class. Then in the evening, students enjoyed a holiday-themed spin class in the Aggie Recreation Center spin room. Bray said the music was holiday-themed and participants were welcome to dress in their favorite holiday attire.
The final event on Wednesday was an ugly sweater and gaming party in the recently opened Esports Center. Bray said over 70 students attended this activity and played games like Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Dungeons and Dragons, and virtual reality games.
Benefits, Growth and Collaborations
Bray said the last day being devoted to video games successfully showcased their esports program to the student body.
"It's good to have different events that cater to different students on campus," said Bray. "We were definitely able to see a lot of different students. The esports event was fun because most of the students who attended were brand new to the space and the group."
Bray said Rec Your Stress is even more valuable now with so many young adults battling mental health issues in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Especially now with the mental health crisis, being able to have these opportunities to build bonds is so important for students who really need it," said Bray. "Whenever we went into COVID-19 everything was virtual. and we are trying to get away from that now. We want to get people back in person and having experiences with each other. I think this went really well."
Bray added the event would not be possible without the partnerships created with other campus departments such as CAPS.
"It's always good to partner with other entities on campus," said Bray. "The more people you get involved, the bigger the event will be and the more reach it will have. We are all in it for the same goal which is benefitting our students."

So half of my mail these days is bills from the hospital or claim receipts from the insurance company. And I haven't even had the surgery yet or started any of the meds that I'll need to take. But to date, it looks like the cost is almost $3000. Not a lot of money in reality, but then I'm also in pretty good health and so there hasn't been anything too strange to tackle. One of the really great things about my company is our health benefits, so the only thing I've had to pay is my $10 co-pay for each of the visits.
When I was in the Navy I really didn't think about health care. Sure we all joked about Navy medicine and then just sucked it up. It wasn't a bad system. You got a problem? Come in and see a nurse, or a doctor, and they fixed you up and you never saw a bill. When I got out of the Navy I had to negotiate the health care world. It's not the easiest with the different plans, different options, and different costs.
I was watching a video clip of Mitt Romney where he got asked about health care from a waitress in a diner in New Hampshire. She had three children and a $50 co-pay. And some of the kids had chronic health care issues. No I don't think much of my $10 co-pay. That's one less drink at the Ultra-Hip Lounge, no big deal. But $50 bucks is different. Especially when you are talking about a women who's a waitress and has three children. Kind of sad really.
Health Insurance Coverage for Children. Universal Health Care. We talk a lot about these things, the pros, the cons, the costs. It kills me that people bicker about the cost of implementing health care for all Americans while we continue to throw good money after bad into that black hole that is Iraq. We can't pay for health care for America's children, but we can continue to pay for a useless war. That's really sad.
Tomorrow . . . .
